Preliminary investigations revealed that Sarkin-Tasha was arrested at a checkpoint between Damba and Sabon Gida while en route to his hometown, Mada. During the arrest, authorities reportedly found cannabis and other illegal drugs in his possession. A search of his residence also uncovered three G3 rifle armours and one anti-aircraft gun armour, along with four rounds of ammunition.
